Katherine Thompson's research focuses on mental health across development, examining how social experiences like loneliness, peer problems, bullying, and social isolation relate to conditions such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Much of this work uses large longitudinal cohort studies and genetic data (e.g., twin studies and genomic methods) to understand how environmental and inherited factors jointly shape mental health outcomes from childhood into adulthood.
